A police plane spent an hour flying loops around Merseyside as part of a missing person search.
According to live flight tracker FlightRadar24, the Vulkanair P.68R started its journey at Doncaster Airport before spending around an hour circling large areas of Sefton with a particular focus around Litherland, Waterloo and Aintree. The plane was in the air above Merseyside on the evening of Wednesday, March 30.
The flight tracker suggested the plane is registered to the Police & Crime Commissioner for West Yorkshire. But a spokesperson for West Yorkshire confirmed to the ECHO the planes based in Doncaster are operated by the National Police Air Service who deploy them to a number of different services around the country.
